Speaking of the animation, I had a weird bug where in some cutscenes/conversations, Garrus (and only Garrus) would be invisible. Throws you off your stride a bit when everyone keeps addressing comments to empty air...MeChaNiZ3D said:
I dunno about that. I mean, most people seem to have enjoyed the game up until it took a nosedive in the final ten minutes. Seems a bit petty to return a game because you only got 30 hours of fun from it.MeChaNiZ3D said:
That actually shocked me. I watched through the ending video with the sad/dramatic music, the credits with the epic music, the final scene that tried to remind you just how "legendary" your experience has been, and then...pop. Hey kids, don't forget to buy some stuff! They condensed the entire, trilogy-spanning story into "Shepard beat the Reapers and became a legend".SilverBullets000 said:
Unfortunately I didn't see many of those guys, as I was trying to avoid spoilers, and the people who went into detail rather than screaming that BioWare were "dirty Jewfags" and such would generally be discussing the plot in detail. As such I was mostly exposed to the ranting dickheads.MeChaNiZ3D said:
Not sure how they can turn it around without retcons. All they can do is expand on something people hate, but people will likely be just as pissed off about retcons.Sandytimeman said:
That's a big part of the problem, sure.Radox Redux said:
Huh. I hadn't thought of that - were BioWare trying to teach us that we are small and insignificant in the scheme of things, and that however hard we work nothing we do will matter? Ouch. Harsh life lessons from a video game!Radox Redux said:
And video games can be art. It's a little worrying that people still think there's a debate to be had there. There isn't.Don Savik said:
Clearly they do, though. Otherwise they wouldn't be releasing the Extended Cut DLC, would they?Don Savik said:

Luckily, I don't have any children. Thinking about it, this may be why the ending hasn't raped them.Casual Shinji said:
Sorry, you lost me. What's a morning shot?Mikeyfell said:
What I've read about the "fix" is that it's just an expansion/clarification of the ending we've had already. I don't understand how that's meant to be a good thing; we're just going to be given more detail about something that already sucks. They're not changing anything, just telling us why we ought to appreciate what we've got.Mikeyfell said:
Yes. One does not necessarily require the other. I found it surprising that people were acting in such extreme ways as announcing BioWare boycotts, demanding different endings, and spewing vitriol across every message board they could because they didn't like the ending of a game.boag said:
Oh look, an inability to discuss things in an adult fashion. Shocking. No, I'm not going to excuse you for acting like an ass, sorry. And homophobic? Where on earth did you pull that little gem from?boag said:
Ugh, the quest log. Why did it always go to the middle when you opened it?! Towards the end I had maybe 3 quests left, and every time I went to check them I had to scroll aaaall the way up to the top of the page. Slowly. Not that there was ever much point to checking; they were usually so basic ("An Asari wants something. Go here, get it, then go give it to her". "There are Cerberus guys on this planet. Go shoot them") that it was easier to just run around doing stuff until you spoke to someone and suddenly got some XP and credits.Mcoffey said:
Sorry, but isn't the point of Take Back/Retake Mass Effect that they demand the ending be changed? That's what it says on their own page.Zagzag said:
How horrendously bitter. I'm going to assume, for the sake of my own sanity, that you're joking. If you weren't, there's a big difference between "you can't change the world" and "An extremely charismatic leader with a long track record of achieving what was previously considered impossible can't change the world".floppylobster said:

Hi guys, remember me?
My name is Jim, you may remember me from such promises as "In Fable you can do anything you want!" and "In Fable 2, you can do whatever you want!" and my most popular works "In Fable 3 you can do what you want."
I may have slightly embellished my promises and built a franchise upon lies and disappointment but you guys still kept giving me money.
I only hurt you guys because I love you, I just want to be loved don't you see that? I say these sweet things and whisper promises into your ear and you repay me with adoration.
Oh I can't get enough of your attention, I would create for you and give you tantalising verbiage just so I could feel your warmth.
Your biggest fan,
Jim.
Why would Asian kids assume that an English kid would be Asian? Ignoring the fact that they're more likely to picture Daniel Radcliffe, and that on most editions there are pictures of a speccy white kid on the cover, it doesn't really follow that they'd picture the hero as looking like them. If I read a book about an Asian person in China, I don't imagine them looking like me.Draech said:
Indoctrination isn't the players theory though. In that final hours thing it says BW were planning on Shepard becoming indoctrinated at the end and the player losing control of his body. But they said it turned out to be too complex to implement and so didn't do it, which is probably why the indoctrination theory makes so much sense - they didnt bother changing the rest of the game to fit the new ending.Darkmantle said:
